8 Month Internship - Operations, London

Uppers

Great company culture; friendly, helpful and relaxed. Amazing offices and roof top restaurant with free food after 7pm.

Downers

The work I did was a bit tedious at time. Not much room for horizontal movement.

Comments

Much sure your financial services industry knowledge is solid, with an emphasis on breadth rather than depth. Know what a typical day entails. Understand the different functions of the bank. Think about how the industry is moving, where it is going.

Small entrepreneurial environment. It is heaven for newcomers willing to get to work immediately and make a difference. Although these words might seem cliche, I've had the experience of working for a top 3 bank in London, and the amount of responsibility and interaction with the markets I did from the get-go here is truly astonishing.

Downers

Credit rating, still small footprint in the US. We're working on it!

Comments

Integrated very well very fast with my current group and with groups we work with. Was lucky enough to gel very well with my manager who pushed me very early on, gave me lots of responsibilities and provided me with great on the job training.

The people! This firm has compiled a very impressive group of talented, diverse and congenial individuals. Coming to work is truly an international and cultural experience given our diverse group of people.

Downers

As with any investment bank, the hours can be demanding and at times travel can be inconvenient.

Comments

My job is fantastic! I work for an international bank, with international colleagues (all are bi-lingual and only two Americans are in my group) and focus on the most exciting and fast paced international market in the world: Asia.
